In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to decide what exercises to do when you’re an injury-prone runner.

There are two methods for selecting appropriate exercises: you can do exercises that include movements at all joints and in all directions each joint goes, and making sure you include all major muscle groups. For injury-prone runners who aren’t sure how to do that or don’t want to Google how to do that they can work with a coach, physical therapist or program. for assistance
